I believe there is an unlimited amount of inherent beauty in the world. Whether it may be people, places, things, movement, implied sound, emotion, nature, the list goes on and on.

With the simple click of the shutter button we are able to capture these moments, and essentially stop time. My fumbling attempts at that are showcased here in this format until I find myself worthy of a formal portfolio.

You'll find my random photographic musings here; ranging from downright stupid, to measured attempts at greatness.

I'm here for comments, criticism, and ideas....and to browse all the other amazing collections of work around the world. I do visit flickr often; so please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or are interested in a particular image or set. That being said, please do not steal my stuff. All images are my property and copyrighted as such.

"No matter what you’re photographing today or this week – remember. The image you make may be the very last one anyone ever sees of your subject. Whether it’s a bird or a bridge or a building or a balding old man. Your photograph could be what the rest of humanity views as the one and only lasting memory of that subject. So with that in mind, remember how important photography is to all of us. For goodness sakes put some effort into that next image. Don’t cut corners. Don’t go half-way. Spend some time thinking about what you’re doing. Learn your gear and your craft. Execute as flawlessly as you can. And remember, it’s a privilege to speak for whoever or whatever you’re photographing."

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
